About a month ago, someone under the name &#8220;Maddeiman&#8221; posted on our board declaring that the mod was dead.  It&#8217;s a pretty cruel joke to play on people, but it was convincing enough that some people fell for it.  Unfortunately, I only found out about this just now, and by then the damage was done.

		<description><![CDATA[After more than a decade of controversy, legal disputes, and research, it would seem that there is still no conclusive evidence to directly connect videogames with acts of violence and crime.  Despite this, videogames are, and will probably remain for some time, a controversial medium.  As a result, the intention of this essay is not to retread the same arguments for and against videogame censorship, because, as Ren Reynolds highlights, these arguments are grounded on two different theological perspectives which are unlikely to be resolved (Reynolds, R. 2002).   Instead, this essay will consider the potential dilemmas concerning whether or not industry professionals have an obligation to act in socially responsible manner.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maddieman.wordpress.com&blog=1364308&post=470&subd=maddieman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
